September 10th - The Blessing of Faith is Peace

“For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. For we who have believed do enter that rest.” (Hebrews 4:1-3)

There is peace and “rest” in this present evil age only to those who believe the good news/gospel. And I am talking about the good news that there is life AFTER death for "all" humanity.

“All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."  (Romans 3:23)

"The wages or sin is death, but the free gift or God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

The "free gift" cannot give “rest” to me in this present world unless I have faith that God will actually save me and those I care about by resurrecting us from death.

God raised Christ Jesus, “who became sin on our behalf”, and Jesus promised to return and raise us just as God raised Him. 

"For the One not knowing sin, He makes to be a sin offering for our sakes that we may becoming God's righteousness IN HIM." (2 Corinthians 5:21 CLNT)

"Behold,  He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him - even those who pierced Him.  All the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him.  So shall it be! Amen." (Revelation 1:7)

All humanity will one day be saved out of death, but for NOW, in this present age, only those who BELIEVE God find the blessing of faith - Peace!

"Now faith is an assumption of what is being expected, a conviction concerning matters which are not being observed; for in this the elders were testified to. By faith we are apprehending the eons to adjust to a declaration of God..." (Hebrews 11:1-3)
